Individual Counseling for Adults
How Do I Know if Therapy is Right for Me?
At Compass we believe that counseling should be collaborative and interactive. We achieve this by creating a warm, welcoming, non-judgmental environment where you have the space to explore any area of your life that is limiting you from your full potential. This allows us to help guide you to greater healing, whole health and happiness.
When you feel like you can’t do it alone we are here for you. Sometimes you need to talk to someone when you feel like you cannot do it alone. There are times you need to talk to a professional even if you have advice offered by family or friends. You don’t have to struggle alone.Here at Compass we don’t want you to struggle alone, we want to help.
Individual therapy sessions can be a stand-alone service or can be used as a helpful compliment to family counseling or couples counseling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Compass wants the therapy process to be as clear as possible. We want you know what to expect and feel comfortable throughout the entire process. Check out some of the frequently asked questions in the list below.
We are here to answer any question you have, give us a call at 360-558-7730.
Is there a difference between counseling and therapy?
The short answer is yes. Counseling is often short term and focuses on the identified problem. Once the problem is resolved counseling typically ends. Therapy is longer term and focuses on the individual or relationship. Therapy focuses on behavioral patterns and helps you to better understand your thoughts and patterns.
What should I expect when starting in counseling or therapy?
Your counseling or therapy experience is tailored specifically for you. We will work together to determine the best fit for you and your needs. The connection you make with your therapist or counselor is one of single most important aspects of the therapy and counseling process. We understand that finding the “right” therapist or counselor is a necessity not an option.
You can expect the first couple of sessions to be more information gathering. We will then work on determining your goals and establish a treatment plan to meet those goals.
